All i can think of off the top of my head.
Just goes to show 98% of rumours regarding big name players are complete horse s***, although i'll confess I didnt think SBW would actually happen at the time.

Kimmorley's stalker?
He was updating his thread after waiting outside where ever it was our club was supposedly talking with him.
Dodged a bullet on that one.
From memory it was 2001.

I heard a story that Paul Sironen was supposedly signed and sealed but the Tigers got wind of it and at their awards night named him player of the year and asked him on stage when he was accepting the award whether or not he would be at the club the next season.
